    Unhappy Are you happy where you are?

    Are you happy where you are? Location, job, life etc.. I am looking out my window right now at the falling snow thinking, “This sucks.” Oh to be in Florida right about now.

    Cool

    Wow. I wish I had a window. I would love to be in Cape Cod right now. My grandmother used to live there. I loved it. Then again, it has been a few years since I have been there. Either way, I would love to get some snow.

    The people I work with are great.
    The customers are not.
    The 45 minute drive to work is not.
    The wear and tear on my 6 year old car is not.
    The fatigue I feel at the end of the day is not.
    The fact that I know very little people in the city in which I live is not.
    The pay is ok.

    So, generally, no, I'm not happy where I am right now.
    Why don't I just get another job? Well...
    1) I work Monday to Friday 9-5:30. By the time I get home, it's 6:15, and I leave for work at 8:15. Not much time to find an office job in that time.
    2) I'm the only tech here right now, and I really don't want to leave the boss in a lurch. He's been too good to me in the past to do that to him.

    My current working enviroment has gone down hill since I started working here. They are getting more un-orgized everyday. They've only managed to keep one another tech here for more then a year. Everyone else was fired or found better jobs.
    I plan on looking in the begining of the year for a new job. Maybe go south closer to Tampa. Most likely will end up getting a hour drive though. But I most likely could double my pay and get a better into working place.

    I forgot, we also have to pay $5 a week to have them clean our work shirts. I haven't had a clean work shirt in two days and doesn't look like I will have one tomorrow either. But I am wearing my own shirts for my business till the clean their work shirts.

    Cool

    By the way, to answer the rest of your questions. The pay sucks, I like some of the people, I like most of the users (the ones who admit they know nothing). Anybody hiring?

    Business has been great, I'm content. But the foggy overcast weather sucks though.

    I'll trade with you, it's getting to be over 30 degrees celcius here (don't know what that is in farehnheit) and we ain't got no air con , well ok there is a fan out back but I might be lucky if I get to spend 2-3 hours in front of it.

    I'm more than happy working in Greece, although it's kinda cold this time.
    And I'm more than happy working as a Tech, although my current work sucks!
